Cinder cone at dusk

The upper road between Waikoloa Village and Waimea offers breathtaking views of the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii, with its windy road carving out a way among dry brushes and cinder cones. This view is close to the connection with the Saddle Road on the way to the summit of the Mauna Kea volcano. The landscape between this point and Waimea is usually lush green and very windy. The dramatic clouds in this image were captured with a long exposure at dusk.
